Seriously thats being pedantic now, of course there will be a system drive, but for the sake of storing games on an HDD it, in the example you gave an external drive would be the best option.

No, what's silly is your suggestion people download a game, play it once, delete it, then download it again the next day.

Again being pedantic, nobody gets a game plays it just for one day, deletes it and then downloads the next day.
People will download it play it if they really like it, after a few days they finished it, and then delete it, with the option in the future to download and play again.
Lets not talk about silly scenarios that wouldn't happen shall we Qas.

I don't.
I was replying to Qas silly suggestion. Please do read the full conversation first
It is easy to download 200GB in 4-5 hrs with a good constant 17MB/s if you have the top speed on offer and you can get it.
Even at half the speed up to 10hrs.
There is plenty of people who act like a seedbox and download everything, because they sell the stuff to their mates etc, so all the movies, albums and games are constantly grabbed and seeded because most are on tough torrent sites where a good sharing ratio is needed to stay there.

You're sort of contradicting yourself here. If someone is downloading at 17MB/s all day every day but is concerned with their share ratio, then they have a very serious problem - their upload speed is, at best, about 1.5MB/s and that will get traffic managed quite harshly through the day.
Also anyone that serious about downloading wouldn't be torrenting the stuff. In any case, only a handful of people are going to be that bad.
I consider myself a fairly heavy downloader and according to Virgin, I only downloaded ~850GB between August and December.

No, you're being obtuse and changing your story.
You were the one who suggested people had to re-download their games 30 times a month if they wanted to play them more than once.

Then why did you say exactly that to try back up your case?

Perhaps you should heed your own advice.

And you were the one who said they do it every day did you not? I think you did. Which is why I replied to you and said it was Pedantic.

You haven't changed one bit Qas, you only talk about the previous post, but never the posts in a whole conversation. So you end up replying about something that is now a larger conversation, but you only talk about the last few sentences.
You were the one who brought up the HDD as a storage medium to stop them downloading games, and of course the silly 1 day example, and I told you that would be silly as people would fill them quite easily.

No, you did, now you're trying to lie your way out of it now it's been totally discredited.

No, once again that's exactly what you're doing. I replied to an earlier post which you're now pretending does not exist, and trying to change the conversation to take my responses out of context.

Your example, not mine. You're looking mighty silly right now, discrediting yourself and blaming me for it!

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
Had some work done on CMTS am on but don't know what it means
I asked over on the VM forum and this is the reply I got
I've checked that ticket reference and I can see it relates to FPM work. It says you were put on to FPM2. It was done on a node by node basis.
I'm no network guru but I believe it stands for forward path matrix. Maybe someone else can shed more detail on this.
The one you provided was linked to your CMTS but not cable. Your cable was done on reference C00684703 but it was the same work anyway.

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
It's nothing interesting. Routine stuff. Doesn't in and of itself affect service.

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
I would imagine that's a noise ticket and your fault is unrelated but they are presuming it is

Re: Uddingston ML5 2 Upstream Channels
yeah, I have seen stupid estimates like that before where they don't know what the problem is and they give themselves a tonne of leeway just in case. I wouldn't be surprised if it got fixed in the early of the morning.
